{shelter me from the storm}

A few weeks ago, misplaced tickets to an art show and, in searching for them, discovered an enormous amount of magazines all over the place. Since then, have been searching for a contractor to build custom shelving to help keep things organized, but until then, shall have to dream up creative ways to keep the magazines from taking over our place . . .

. . . love the idea of using stacks of them for a bench or low shelf, made extra chic with a beautiful, rough wood plank

Years ago, in another life, I used to summer on a lake in Michigan with my then in-laws. At one of family “cottages” the downstairs guest bathroom had been completely papered in New Yorker covers from the 40’s and 50’s. I thought it was wonderful, unexpected, and certainly entertaining.

Joanna, I was thinking the same thing–the sensible side of me thought about the magazines slipping as well, yet it looks so beautiful, I thought, well maybe not to sit on, but for putting pretty things on top?
